Directions:

Put dry beans in pot on stove and cover with water double the amount of beans. (use soft water if possible). Bring to a full rolling boil and boil hard for 5 minutes uncovered. Take off heat. Cover with lid and let it sit for 1 hour.Drain and rinse beans. Rinse pot. Return beans to pot with clean water only to the level of the top of the beans. Bring to a full boil again. Reduce heat to simmer for about 2-3 hours. (stored beans take longer to cook than newer fresher beans.)While it cooks, I add onions, garlic, & raw bacon. DO NOT ADD ANY OTHER SPICES AT THIS TIME.after the beans are fully cooked and soft, add salt and pepper. Before serving, add a large can or two of diced green chilies.
